From polar bears to sweethearts and comedy to legends, even the cold temperatures of February warm to the increasing availability of the entertainment for which Branson, Missouri is noted. Even as those brave costumed souls, competing for the coveted “Golder Plunger Award,” plunge into Branson’s Table Rock Lake for the 2009 Polar Bear Plunge, Branson’s shows have already plunged into their 2009 season.
From the comedy genius of Jim Stafford to the legendary impersonations of Legends in Concert and the unique musical style of the group SIX, even in February, Branson’s 2009 season is off to a hot start. The north and south will once again be competing with each other in a fun filled interactive adventure as the competitors enjoy a four course meal, complete with dessert, as one of Branson’s most popular shows, Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede, gallops into its new season.
The exciting harmonies of Pierce Arrow, the beautiful vocals of Desta and Kim Boyce and the comedy of Jarrett Daugherty will once again be delighting Branson audiences. The dynamic voices and harmonies of the New South quartet, comedy of Jamie Haage, as Jim Dandy, and the vocals of Jackie Brown and Todd Bradshaw in the Grand Jubilee show started their season in January and are in full swing.
And those are just the highlights. From magic and ventriloquism to music of just about every type, there is a Branson show for every taste. Paul Miller, General Manager, Branson Tourism Center, Branson’s largest and most passionate tourist resource for Branson information and services, said that potential visitors should remember that the shows will be opening on different dates during February and that weather and other factors could impact on availability. To minimize disappointment, Miller suggests either calling the individual venues or a service such as the Branson Tourism Center to insure availability.
